Buca di Beppo

Buca di Beppo is a chain of Italian-style restaurants, noted for serving platters intended to be shared among family members or parties.

It is where the Smith family holds their emergency family meetings.

Stan proposes selling the Smith home and moving to a farm in "First, Do No Farm" when he believes the family is getting weak. most of the family is on board with the idea, but Hayley balks at the idea and proposes just using the backyard for a small farm which is accepted.

Although "Roger Needs Dick" was produced before "First, Do No Farm", a rescheduling by TBS placed it afterwards. Going by production order, the name of the restaurant was simply Buca in the beginning and then it was expanded to Buca di Beppo.

In "Roger Needs Dick", when Roger blows off family engagements so his persona of Becky Tenderharts can be with Dick Reynolds, the family meets to decide how to break them up and settles on a doctored photo of Roger cheating on him. This succeeds, but when Rodger settles into a funk that he can't pull out of, the family meets again and decides to send him to Tuscany.
